How familiar target customers are with a brand.
By Brandon Mina·CEO, BrandPilot AI·Updated November 2026
Short answer
Brand awareness is the degree to which target customers recognize or recall a brand. It is usually measured through surveys of aided and unaided recall, along with proxies such as branded search volume and direct traffic. Higher awareness tends to make buyers more likely to consider a brand when they are ready to purchase.
